I don't know exactly what research is done but he estimates he will have to pay me spousal support for A long time to come . I have heard again and again to protect myself by hiring an attorney and then forcing him to hire another attorney and battling things out would cost us A bunch of money and then nobody would be happy .


I think you're on the right track, I really do. My mistake was going after her to protect myself as soon as she left me. In hindsight I should have waited but she left me with a 3 sentence "Dear John" letter so I hired a L to protect myself. Big F'ing mistake. It forced my W to get a L and then all bets were off.

Try to work it out between yourselves as much as possible as it would be the best way to go about it. Don't do what I did and get attorneys involved. Nothing good can come from it.

Not to be sexist, but as a woman you do still have some advantages in today's legal system so you don't have to worry as much as your husband.
